Available in 4UG5 and 6. Pictured here with the other new arrival NS6600 in 4UG6 which is a first for Yonex SP in G6 or even maybe Yonex racquets. Though not my first time having a feel of G6 as I have a couple of Mizunos in this grip size. Feels very light and fast. Control is excellent because of the small grip size. Reminds me of the Carlton Airblade 33 which is another very light racquet. Developed as a ladies racquet going with the grip size and the colour scheme of a very feminine pink.
Yes they are new models but the NS6600 have been used by the pros for quite some time now. Coming up later in the year are the Arc5DX, Arc9FL..
Here's my kick-ass NS3000 Was pleasantly surprised the racquet packs quite a lot of power given that its a 4U racquet. Intend to restring it with pink Gosen Momone next
How is the racquet so far? Would like to hear more about your experience with it . I have wrote a little about the NS6600 in that racquet's thread.
Hahaha that is good to hear . A sign that this racquet is going to resonate with the ladies. Now I am tempted to get one myself hehehe. When I held it, it was really easy to wield and light as a feather.
Not sure whether there will be a white lime SP version but so far they have the white pink version only. Similarly, the Arc5DX will come in two colours too. Orange and dark pink/magenta.
Hi 'Sealman' ..... mind if i ask how much you got the NS3000 for? I'm thinking of getting it for my wife to replace her Arc9. I bought her the Arc9 as a gift (she absolutely loved the colour!) , but she seems to be struggling a bit with it ..... maybe she doesn't have sufficient strength to handle the weight. If the NS3000 is much lighter, then maybe it would suit her more. Thanks for your time.
I bought it from Bangkok and paid approx S$110. Reckon it will cost more in Singapore. My $0.02 is that the Arc9 is more demanding than the NS3000. Or perhaps you could wait for the release of the Arc9FL which would be available in 4U http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?89541-Yonex-Arc-Saber-9-FL
Many thanks for the info bro ...... i reckon it would probably cost around $160 - 180 in Sinapore (hopefully). About the Arc9FL, i'm worried that it'll have similiar properties as the Arc9, since it's also an Arc Series racket .... and the Arc9FL didn't pass her "i-like-the-colour" test. My wife had a swing with my NS9900 (strung with BG66 Sharp @ 26 lbs) last week and she seemed to be more comfortable with it .... TOO comfortable in fact ! Her response time was much quicker, and her shots had much more power ..... weird eh? If the NS3000 has roughly similar properties as the NS9900 eg; (light weight, head light but with medium-moderate stiffness) .... then it'll probably suit her better. Now if i could only find out the rough pricetag of the racket. Any Bros/Sis here know how much the NS3000 costs here in Singapore? ...... help?
seems u go bangkok as often like i go msia i am tempted to get one for my wife too, perhaps can seek your help next time?
Nanospeed 3000 in lime green version. This is in 4UG5 as compared to the pink version I took earlier in 4UG6. Similar to the Arc9FL, this is labeled as 'Feather Light' as stated on the frame. I reckon the Arc5DX orange version will be available here too with the pinkish red that arrived recently.
